Extrusion Applications-Consumer

Consumer

Aluminum extrusions' attributes — light weight, strength, high thermal conductivity, non-corrosive, ease of fabrication, tactile "feel", almost limitless form — lead to their presence in a wide range of consumer goods. In your air conditioning system, small multiport extrusions in the condenser help achieve new levels of energy efficiency. In patio furniture, they help provide the "spring". In sporting goods, they provide strength and durability — as in this compound bow for target shooting. Click here for the story of the transformation from extrusion to bow.
